R DANGER! Use and charge only specified Icom battery packswithIcomradiosorIcomchargers.OnlyIcombatterypacksare testedandapproved forusewith Icomradiosorcharged with Icom chargers. Using third-party or counterfeit batterypacksorchargersmaycausesmoke,fire,orcausethe battery to burst.

R WARNING RF EXPOSURE! This device emits Radio Frequency (RF) energy. Caution should be observed when operating this device. If you have any questions regard-ing RF exposure and safety standards, please refer to the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology’s report on Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields (OET Bulletin 65).

R WARNING! NEvER hold the transceiver so that the antenna is very close to, or touching exposed parts of the body, especially the face or eyes, while transmitting. The transceiver will perform best if the microphone is 5 to 10 cm (2 to 4 inches) away from the lips and the transceiver is verti-cal.

R WARNING! NEvER operate or touch the trans-ceiverwithwethands.Thismayresultinanelectricshockormay damage the transceiver.

R WARNING! NEvER operate the transceiver with an earphone, headphones or other audio accessories at high volume levels. Hearing experts advise against continuous high volume operation. If you experience a ringing in your ears, reduce the volume level or discontinue use.

R WARNING! NEvER operate the transceiver while driving a vehicle. Safe driving requires your full attention—anything less may result in an accident.

R WARNING! NEvER connect the transceiver to a power source of more than 16 V DC or use reverse polarity. This could cause a fire or damage the transceiver.

CAUTION: MAKE SURE the flexible antenna and battery pack are securely attached to the transceiver, andthattheantennaandbatterypackaredrybeforeattachment.Exposing the inside of the transceiver to water will result in serious damage to the transceiver.After exposure to water, clean the battery contacts thoroughly with fresh water and dry them completely to remove any wa-ter or salt residue.

PRECAUTIONS

13

New2001 New2001

CAUTION: DO NOT use harsh solvents such as ben-zine or alcohol to clean the transceiver, because they can damage the transceiver’s surfaces.

DO NOT push the PTT unless you actually intend to trans-mit.

DO NOT operate the transceiver near unshielded electri-cal blasting caps or in an explosive atmosphere.

DO NOT use or place the transceiver in direct sunlight or in areas with temperatures below –20°C (–4˚F) or above +60°C (+140˚F).

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver will become hot when operating it continuously for long periods of time.

BE CAREFUL! The transceiver meets IPX7* require-ments for waterproof protection. However, once the trans-ceiver has been dropped, waterproof protection cannot be guaranteed because of possible damage to the transceiver's case or waterproof seal.* Only when the BP-271 or BP-272 (option), flexible antenna,

[MIC/SP] cap, [DATA/DC IN] cap and [micro SD] slot cap are attached.

Place the unit in a secure place to avoid inadvertent use by children.

The BP-273 meets IPX4 requirements for splash resistance. When it is connected, the transceiver corresponds to IPX4.Even when the transceiver power is OFF, a slight current still flowsinthecircuits.Removethebatterypackorbatteriesfromthe transceiver when not using it for a long time. Otherwise, theinstalledbatterypackorbatterieswillbecomeexhausted,and will need to be recharged or replaced.

Battery caution DR DANGER! DO NOT hammer or otherwise impact the bat-tery. Do not use the battery if it has been severely impacted or dropped, or if the battery has been subjected to heavy pres-sure. Battery damage may not be visible on the outside of the case.Evenifthesurfaceofthebatterydoesnotshowcracksor any other damage, the cells inside the battery may rupture or catch fire.R DANGER! NEvERuseorleavebatterypackinareaswithtemperatures above +60˚C (+140˚F). High temperature build-up in the battery, such as could occur near fires or stoves, inside a sun heated car, or in direct sunlight may cause the battery to rupture or catch fire. Excessive temperatures may

also degrade battery performance or shorten battery life.R DANGER! DO NOT expose the battery to rain, snow, sea-water, or any other liquids. Do not charge or use a wet battery. If the battery gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using.R DANGER! NEvER incinerateausedbatterypacksinceinternal battery gas may cause it to rupture, or may cause an explosion.R DANGER!

Use the battery only with the transceiver for which it is specified. Never use a battery with any other equip-ment, or for any purpose that is not specified in this instruc-tion manual.R DANGER! If fluid from inside the battery gets in your eyes, blindness can result. Rinse your eyes with clean water, with-out rubbing them, and see a doctor immediately.R WARNING! Immediately stop using the battery if it emits an abnormal odor, heats up, or is discolored or deformed. If any of these conditions occur, contact your Icom dealer or distributor.R WARNING! Immediately wash, using clean water, any part of the body that comes into contact with fluid from inside the battery.

BATTERY CAUTIONS

New2001

15

New2001

R WARNING! NEvER put the battery in a microwave oven, high-pressure container, or in an induction heating cooker.This could cause a fire, overheating, or cause the battery to rupture.CAUTION: Always use the battery within the specified tem-perature range, –20˚C to +60˚C (–4˚F to +140˚F). Using the battery out of its specified temperature range will reduce the battery’s performance and battery life.CAUTION: Shorter battery life could occur if the battery is left fully charged, completely discharged, or in an excessive tem-perature environment (above +50˚C; +122˚F) for an extended period of time. If the battery must be left unused for a long time, it must be detached from the radio after discharging. You may use the battery until the battery indicator shows half-capacity,thenkeepitsafelyinacooldryplaceatthefollowingtemperature range:

–20˚C (–4˚F) to +50˚C (+122˚F) (within a month).–20˚C(–4˚F)to+35˚C(+95˚F)(withinthreemonths).–20˚C (–4˚F) to +20˚C (+68˚F) (within a year).

D Charging cautionR DANGER! NEvERchargethebatterypackinareaswithextremely high temperatures, such as near fires or stoves, inside a sun-heated vehicle, or in direct sunlight. In such en-vironments, the safety/protection circuit in the battery will ac-tivate, causing the battery to stop charging.

R WARNING! DO NOT charge or leave the battery in the bat-tery charger beyond the specified time for charging. If the bat-tery is not completely charged by the specified time, stop charg-ing and remove the battery from the battery charger. Continuing to charge the battery beyond the specified time limit may cause a fire, overheating, or the battery may rupture.R WARNING! NEvER insert the transceiver (battery at-tached to the transceiver) into the charger if it is wet or soiled. This could corrode the battery charger terminals or damage the charger. The charger is not waterproof.CAUTION: DO NOT charge the battery outside of the speci-fied temperature range: 0˚C to +40˚C (+32˚F to +104˚F). Icom recommends charging the battery at +25˚C (+77˚F). The battery may heat up or rupture if charged out of the specified temperature range. Additionally, battery performance or bat-tery life may be reduced.BE SURE to turn the transceiver power OFF while charg-ing with the supplied BC-167S battery charger.

RESETTING14 ■ Resetting

The display may occasionally display erroneous information (for example when first applying power). This may be caused externally by static electricity or by other factors.If this problem occurs, turn OFF power.After waiting a few seconds, turn ON power again. If the prob-lem persists, perform a Partial reset or an All reset.

A Partial reset resets operating settings to their default values (VFO frequency, VFO settings, menu contents) without clear-ing the items below:•Memorychannelcontents •ScanEdgecontents•Callchannelcontents •Callsignmemories•Messagedata •DTMFmemorycontents•GPSMemorycontents •Repeaterlist•BCRadioMemory

BE CAREFUL! An All reset clears all programming and returns all settings to their factory defaults. See the PDF type Advanced Instruction for more details.
